Although the visualizer is still a bit rough, I've put together an index page where you can now download maps/stats, but also go straight to visualizations of exploration traces for the games I've been mapping (mostly Metroidvanias). The visualizer doesn't show multiple links or complex requirements well yet, and layouts are a challenge. But you can click around and see stuff, and the CSV files have interesting stats now (just submitted a paper for EXAG 2026 talking about metrics for discrete exploration games).

#HotTake on #VideoGames: I agree that we should stop calling #AdventureGames that lean heavily into their ability-gaining elements #Metroidvania games. The name implies similarities to #Metroid and #Castlevania that might not be there, and also that they invented elements which were also in the original #Zelda, #Adventure, and many other 80s adventure games.
Generally speaking, gaining abilities to access new areas is one of those true-to-life elements. It'd be like calling every arcade racing game an "F-Zero clone" or every First Person Shooter a "Doom Clone" when even Wolfenstein was far from the original FPS.

Give me a #MetroidPrime5 that delves into the following:
The GF Squad was always working for #Sylux.
Now you know why the missed shots, why these four "held" Sylux in the climax to let Samus escape. There is a reason, and Metroid Prime 5 could tell it.

I always recommend to play Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid Prime to start on the #Metroid franchise.
If you like Zero mission: Super Metroid (redux), then Metroid: Samus Returns, Metroid Fusion and Metroid Dread.
If you like Prime: Prime 2 Echoes, Prime 3 Corruption.
The rest of Metroid games only amount to a YouTube summary and a post on BlueSky.

I'll always favor the last version rather than the first in #MetroidPrime.
The first looks like somebody good the thing right, but is too oversized.
The one in Metroid Prime looks like someone is on the suit, like someone made the ultimate cosplay.

#MetroidPrime is not "dead".
https://medium.com/p/9c7a3755769f/
Their newer sales numbers are not to brag about, given how much #Nintendo invested on the game alone across two studios.
I believe the next #MetroidPrime5 will not have a huge investment in development. Who knows if they pivot to Unreal Engine 5 to keep costs down instead of their own engine + training.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond should have been renamed to...

Nice find by BeatEmUps channel:
#MetroidPrime4Beyond was created by a bunch of guys who made:
1. THE WORST HALO
2. THE SECOND WORST HALO, and
3. THE THIRD WORST HALOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3gqa7ptEAM

So I played #MetroidPrime4 past weekend.
It bored me after the lazo upgrade. I just went to check a let's play, saw the ending on YouTube, and move on.
I believe I'm ready to shit on #Highguard once it releases, not before playing #Dispatch now that it's complete.

Nerrel hits the nail right in the head.

#MetroidPrime4Beyond is the least #Metroid of the franchise, second to *that one*.

I managed to complete the gauntlet at the High Halls on #Silksong after about 40 minutes of trying again and again! :P
-
I've played #Silksong for almost 43 hours
I found my way to the High Halls and got to the gauntlet there, struggling a bit to beat it but it shouldn't be too bad with the needle upgrade I got and the cogflies :P
-
I've played #Silksong for 40 hours now, still exploring and such.
I beat Trobbio at last and I've found my second needle upgrade and the first melody.
Also helped a town and now I have my own little house ^^
-
So I'm facing against Trobbio now in #Silksong, gave up on the Deep Docks exploration (I have a feeling a double jump will make all of it much easier later)
Haven't won yet, but I can see the path to victory, and I shall take it later in the weekend.
